Shocking performance! Hugo Broos and Bafana Bafana proved how poor they can be in surprise Rwanda defeat

However you may look at it, Bafana Bafana's performance against Rwanda was appalling.

And not because they were absolute trash, no, the Boys, as Bafana is translated from isiZulu to English, could not read what the match demanded in Rwanda.

From the onset, it was clear that Bafana's style of play was never going to cut it in a water-clad artificial pitch at the Huye Stadium.

Even the famous Tiki-Taka of Barcelona was going to fall short, simply because the pitch did not allow for anything else but route one or individual brilliance - something the home side did well to take maximum points.

Here, GOAL looks at what could have been done differently to avoid the 2-0 defeat in their second game of the 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifiers.
